Hey everyone! I just got an RTX 3080 MSI GAMING X TRIO from a friend who's upgrading, and I'm a bit worried about whether it will work with my current power supply, the Corsair TX750M. It looks like there's only one 6+2 PCIe output on my PSU, but I need at least two for the 3080. Can anyone provide some advice or insights on this?

You should check if your PSU has the necessary connectors. If you’ve got the PSU on hand, just pop open your case and take a look! You might be okay with just one cable, but that's not the best option since it may not handle the power load properly for the RTX 3080.
No need to worry too much! Your TX750M actually has 2 PCIe cables, and each one has 2x 6+2 pins. This means you've got a total of 4 ports available, so you should be good to go! Just make sure to check your box for the extra cable.
